Some places just never lose their retro charm, and the Polar King diner in Gresham is definitely that kind of place. It’s been open for more than 70 years, and the decor hasn’t been updated much during those decades. That doesn’t matter, though – this diner is spotlessly clean, and has tasty food served by the friendliest wait staff ever.

Polar King opened in 1952, and it hasn’t changed much over the years.
